With Sandy Bay in Hanover regularly appearing on the crime radar, Superintendent Andrew Nish says police will increase crime-fighting efforts in the town to restore order.

Speaking at last Thursday’s monthly meeting of the Hanover Municipal Corporation, Nish said Sandy Bay, one of the main townships in eastern Hanover, requires special intervention because of rising concerns about crime. He said the police intend to address this through increased attention.

“Sandy Bay is the area of greatest concern right now,” Nish told councillors. “Over the years, interpersonal disputes and other conflicts in that community have too often ended in violence.”
